What a great time we had today at St. Michael's Family Game Day! Thank you PTO for hosting all the fun. It was the perfect way to culminate Catholic Schools Week!

[Tara Navarro @StMS_Principal]

The tradition continues at StMS of randomly calling "button winners" each day of Catholic Schools Week (CSW)! Students & staff wearing their CSW buttons rush to the office with joy to pick a prize upon hearing their names.
Life is good, & we love our @StMSCary Angels!

[Tara Navarro @StMS_Principal]

Thank you StMS Scouts & Alumni Eagle Scout Daniel Polacci for leading our @StMSCary community in today's beautiful flag ceremony! Thankful that Catholic Schools Week always prioritizes the celebration of Nation Day.

Happy Catholic Schools Week @StMSCary, @stmpreschoolnc,
& St Michael Parish! Thankful for our clergy who actively support our parish school, & all for the Angels we greeted at Mass over the weekend in their uniforms. Now that's school spirit!

[Tara Navarro @StMS_Principal]

Happy Catholic Schools Week! It was such a blessing for our @StMSCary faculty and so many St Michael School families to join together to assemble lunches for people experiencing homelessness and food insecurities! Go Angels!

What an amazing Grandparents Day @StMSCary! We welcomed over 300 special guests to campus, & students heard recorded well-wishes from grandparents living in France, Italy, Peru, Brazil, and Equador! Thank you Gr. 8 ambassadors & PTO volunteers for helping with hospitality!

[Tara Navarro @StMS_Principal]

It's a great day to support @StMSCary! Thanks to all generous supporters, esp. Angel Sponsors McClure Orthodontics, Parkside Eye Care, the Skaugens and McCurdys, & Gold Sponsors Cary Periodontics, the Walkers & Depersias! Thanks PTO & Prestonwood C.C. for hosting the fun!

[Tara Navarro @StMS_Principal]

Thanks StMS student & parent leaders for watching our newest Angels tonight as we & the PTO hosted our annual New Parent Social! It was a wonderful evening to welcome new @StMSCary families. Thanks as well to Karen Tanzini & Caroline Laski for the beautiful new "Go Angels" mural!

[Tara Navarro @StMS_Principal]

Thanks Fr. Michael, Madre Lucia, Sr. Lisbeth, teachers, & families for joining us after 8:30 Mass today for doughnuts & fun, hosted by School Advisory Council! Looking forward to the year ahead working with SAC Chair Juice Schmidt, & the Hermanas Misioneras del Rosario de Fátima!

It's going to be a fun week ahead as we continue to welcome all @StMSCary Angels back to campus!

At last week's 1st Diocese-wide Catholic schools' Mass, Bishop Luis told all @RaleighDiocese educators how much he loves us and that he prays our students will know Jesus through our JOY and lives of love!
We've got the best Diocese in the world, & the best faculty at StMS!

[Tara Navarro @StMS_Principal]

Congratulations to our @StMSCary alumni: @cghsnc Valedictorian Ethan Dominic and Salutatorian Emil Javerzac, as well as all StMS Alumni in Class of `23! It was a joy to welcome college-bound Angels back to StMS for our traditional alumni reception this past week!

[Tara Navarro @StMS_Principal]

Thank you School Advisory Council for hosting the faith and fellowship after today's 8:30 Mass, along with some tasty treats! It was a beautiful day to be together @StMSCary.

[Tara Navarro @StMS_Principal]

Thanks Bishop Luis for celebrating Mass at Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral w/ all 8th graders from Diocese! Thanks Fr Michael & Fr John for concelebrating, & thanks @DOROfficeofEd for organizing the amazing opportunity! Let us pray for Class of '23, the future leaders of our Church!

I enjoyed visiting Grade 4 as student groups worked on both creative and persuasive writing. Various sentence starters, vivid vocabulary, and grammar revisions were part of today's writing process with Ms. Ally Rhode and ITA Mrs. Lisa Langley.

[Tara Navarro @StMS_Principal]

Math groups come in all shapes and sizes! We love learning @StMSCary. Go Angels!

[Tara Navarro @StMS_Principal]

Thank you PreK friends for leading this morning's special prayer and reenactment of the Passion Play! It was a blessing to welcome so many families and enter more fully into this Holy Week.
